Gibt es die Möglichkeit mit Photoshop CS 5 Big Tiff Formate zu öffnen? Leider habe ich keine Chance auf CS 6 umzustellen. Über Hilfe würde ich mich sehr freuen! Vielen Dank
Not sure why "Big 5 Big TIFF". Big 5 is either a sporting goods store, or a way of coding Chinese fonts.
BigTIFF is a special kind of TIFF, not compatible with the old kind of TIFF.
Apparently CS6 will open BigTIFF files BUT will not make them/save them. Files this size can only be saved as PSB.
Before CS5 there may have been plug-ins to buy - but I can't find them in Google - and this post mentions a product: Big TIFF/tiled TIFF in PS Creative Cloud but unless it writes PSB files that's not a way in to Photoshop.
Actually, BigTiff is an extension of the original tiff file format and is completely transparent to the original tiff. Once the writing size goes beyond 4 Gbytes, the old limit of tiff files, the output format switches automatically to BigTIff. For more information, go to BigTIff.org.
For any Adobe product, it is simply a manner of switching to the newer libtiff library and recompling.
Also, here is a translation of the original German post:
"Is there any way to open Photoshop CS 5 Big Tiff formats? Unfortunately, I have no chance to switch to CS 6. I'd be happy for help! Thank you very much"
"Actually, BigTiff is an extension of the original tiff file format and is completely transparent to the original tiff. Once the writing size goes beyond 4 Gbytes, the old limit of tiff files, the output format switches automatically to BigTIff. For more information, go to BigTIff.org."
Not true, the BigTIFF header is different and a TIFF reader wouldn't be able to properly read it.
